China News Online, July 29 (Gao Zhimiao and Wang Ji) "For our entire film industrialization, being able to foster a young director is equivalent to fostering a group of filmmakers." Director and actor Huang Bo is in the 23rd. This is what the Youth Film Salon of the Shanghai International Film Festival said.
As the first major film and television international cultural event held in China since the outbreak of the epidemic, the 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival has attracted much attention, and the development and growth of "Young Directors" has also become the focus of attention of participants.
"After the cinema was reopened, I felt that the whole movie audience's enthusiasm for watching movies could not be restrained. The whole movie was in the process of recovery and prosperity, and the creative enthusiasm of young creators could not be restrained," said producer Don River. .
In the eyes of director and producer Li Shaohong, "supervisor" plays an important role in the training of young directors. "Because he (producer) can use some of his experience and technical judgments to communicate his (director's) creative ideas, and then present their (director's) ideas through shooting. I think this is also quality and efficiency. Guarantee."
Director, actor, and producer Xu Zheng also said that for directors who have just started making movies, such an identity as producer is very much needed. "The young director wrote the script. He wants to turn his child into a movie that can be watched in theaters, but he does not understand many links. In the whole process, he needs to be able to fully help him progress into the production process. This role can help him connect all the links. This is the role of the producer."

With the help of "producer", "platform" is also particularly important for young directors. The 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival Film Project Venture Capital invited young people as scheduled, providing young directors with a stage for "dreaming".
Director and screenwriter Diao Yinan said bluntly: "I think the Shanghai Film Festival's venture capital may be the'boss' among the world's film festival venture capital, because there are too many projects. I have seen more than 20 of them. We have seen them in the past few days. More than 40 scripts. Several major units were carefully judged. This time the quality was very high, and in the end many things could not be left."
It is understood that 70% of the declared projects received by the film project venture capital this year have become directorial debuts, and 70% of the projects have been written and directed by their own creators.
Huang Bo also believes: “Being able to enter and get the approval of Shanghai Venture Capital is a particularly proud thing for young creators. If film is a palace, this may be the first door to start. Can’t knock it, can you knock it so that it can be heard inside, this is a very important step for young creators."
"If young directors want to engage in creation, they must first have a passion for movies and insist on their own creative ideas. In addition, they must choose the right platform, choose the right partners and partners, and choose the right platform for a venture capital conference like Shanghai, like ' With a professional platform like the Green Project (Chinese Youth Directors Support Program), we can accomplish our ideals with everyone’s efforts.” Li Shaohong emphasized.
Huang Bo also emphasized that the most fundamental support for doing a good job is confidence or enthusiasm. "We often see that kind of light in the eyes of some young people. As long as you keep it well, as long as you persevere, you will definitely get your share." (End)
